Is the U.N. Meddling in the U.S. Presidential Election?
2004-10-28
The 'revelation' that 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives have allegedly gone missing from the Al Qaqaa former Iraqi military complex near Baghdad has caused a political storm in Washington. Senator John Kerry has accused President George W. Bush of "incredible incompetence" and his aides have called for the Bush Administration to "answer for what may be the most grave and catastrophic mistake in a tragic series of blunders in Iraq."[1]

The controversy arose after The New York Times published an exposé[2] based on leaked information—most likely originating from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), headed by Director General Mohammed ElBaradei. Information had also been leaked to the CBS documentary program 60 Minutes. The Times article reported that the IAEA had received a letter from the Iraqi Ministry of Science and Technology on October 10 reporting the loss of 341.7 metric tons of HMX, RDX, and PETN. Are U.N. officials attempting to influence the U.S. presidential election?

#6  I posted this in another article, but I am now wondering where did Skerry get his intell to know that this explosive material was used on the USS Cole.
I was watching FNC and I can't remember where Skerry was talking but he said "the explosives from QA QAA where used to blow up the USS Cole, etc.." That is not the verbatum quote but it is what he said and my jaw dropped to the floor. If that where true then it would show that Saddam was working with Al Qeada, and that the IEAE was responsible for not securing the explosives. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the USS Cole bombing happen before the invasion, and before the WTC attack.
I also, think that this story was a set up by Clinton to sink Skerry's run for office.
Check out my blog, for more.

#5  Can we at least kick el Baradei out? You can simply cancel tourist visas and declare a diplomat persona non grata. What is the rule for UN employees?

#4  No need for concern. If the UN goes about trying to get Kerry elected with its usual honesty, efficiency, and competency, Bush will get about 65% of the vote.

#3  El Baradei has been for years now an agent of Islamofascism. He was head of the Egyptian nuclear program, and resigned shortly before Sadat signed the peace agreement with Israel. IN the last few years, El Baradei has been in charge of covering up for Iraq, Iran, Libya, and NoKorea -- and that's the tip of the Blixian iceberg.

#2  After the Bush lanslide, on Wednesday morning, we tell the corrupt bastards, "Get your asses out of here. You have 30 days. Good-bye."

#1  Why shouldn't they interfere? Every body else is. I don't recall there ever being so much by so many.
